Austin, TX duo Hovvdy (Charlie Martin and Will Taylor) released a new album, Hovvdy, in April via Arts & Crafts. Now they have announced some new 2025 tour dates and shared a new track, “Jean (Julie’s Version),” a new take on the Hovvdy song. Listen below, followed by the tour dates.

Taylor had this to say about the new track in a press release: “We got together with Bennett Littlejohn to reimagine ‘Jean.’ This arrangement is stripped back and offers more insight to how the song was written, with an acoustic guitar and a single voice.”

The band co-produced Hovvdy with Andrew Sarlo (Bon Iver, Big Thief) and Bennett Littlejohn (bassist, multi-instrumentalist).

The album includes three previously released singles: “Jean,” “Bubba,” and “Portrait.” When the album was announced they shared another new song from it, “Forever,” via a music video. “Forever” was one of our Songs of the Week. Then they shared “Meant” from the album. “Make Ya Proud” was the final pre-release single from the album.

In 2022 Hovvdy released a new EP, billboard for my feelings, via Grand Jury. The band’s last album, True Love, was one of our Top 100 Albums of 2021 and also produced by Sarlo.
